“There is enough proof of the crimes that armed militants are committing. There are video pictures showing that militants commend their behavior,” Lavrov said.

At the same time, the minister said, “there are professional assessments, given, for example, by member of the International Commission Carla Del Ponte saying there are data on the use of chemical toxic agents by militants.”

“Finally there are the facts of August 21 proving that the incident was orchestrated,” he added.
